Nice summary... the crackdown on internet will gain momentum now that online opposition is coming out of the background noise and becoming visible: Il Popolo Viola (organizers of the No B Day)
Well, what the GP was referring is worse: it's not about the presidential candidate but the representative itself.
It used to be that you could choose who to vote out of a party list or leave it blank and let your vote default to the top; now it's not possible to specify a name any more, so only those on top of the list get elected. Who is in the list and the order of these is determined by the parties (and their internal squabbles and power games).
This was called porcellum, pig-latin (one couldn't expect more from the Lega Nord politician christened it) for porcata, informal for fraud, by the same representative that presented it.
Well, I'm not worried about collection of fines on the spot (which I have never seen BTW). What concerns me most about Italian police is that it is particularly brutal, violent and tends to attract fascist nostalgics in its ranks; mainly because they are trained on a weekly basis to repress football ultra crowds...
Don't worry, they're taking care of that as well: “Equo compenso Siae”: tasse su pc e cellulari. E’ polemica. It's a levy on digital storage devices to compensate the local artist corporation (SIAE) for private copies; coincidentally it applies to the DVRs SKY (a competitor to Berlusconi's Mediaset) distributes to its subscribers...;(
In some ways it's like the software engineers in the US and Europe who still expect to make $80k-$120k when companies can get multiple engineers and programmers in China and India for the same cost. The internet has changed our competitive landscape, but many of us still haven't adjusted. Even the authors of open source software typically have to keep their day jobs to pay the bills. The problems related to funding software developers in the future landscape are remarkably similar to the issues facing musicians and artists.
Hold on... you're mixing things. It's not about decadent, spoilt EUsians having to strip themselves of hardly fought for rights to compete with emerging market salaries; that would be like behaving like Renzo's Chickens (a metaphor in Alessandro Manzoni's "Promessi Sposi"). What next, should we screw environmental regulations (done in certain parts of Italy... illegally but boy, what a bang for the buck!) or abandon safety standards in the name of profitability?
To be honest your example makes the opposite point: rather than abide to corporate greed and liberism we should pretend and work with them (NB not fight, work) to give these "slaves" the same rights we (sort of) enjoy here in EU. If it sounds Socialist don't worry, I don't take it as an insult;)
Hold on...... it's not about diffusion of culture. Have a look at the entries of major torrent indexes: it's difficult to find healthy seeds for decent stuff, 99.9% it's rips of rubbish flicks and tv series.
Preserving and nurturing culture is about shoving our heritage out of forgotten archives on ITMS (or whatever you fancy) and provide easy, cheap access to it. It's a hell of a job and I wouldn't mind dropping 5€ a pop or even paying taxes for this to happen.
What needs to be done is to take back our culture, back from commercial exploitation and market censorship. The real problem is not the evil plan of some fascist overlords but the collective callousness of money-grubbing individuals.
And when, pray tell, does the complex solution assemble into the mind? While spitting out some other genial synthesis, while working overtime or out of office hours or does the über-programmer come with an infinite set of pre-solved problems?
I sincerely hope you are no supervisor, breathing down your teams' necks while lulling yourself with the productive om of trepidant fingers tapping. I've got news: the most used key you are hearing is Backspace...
Oh, the trite "life's tough, get back to work" and "it's not a good use of my time" attitude... great, can I join the choir? I don't care of people that don't care for people so:
... to think that I wanted to cook up something similar 5 yrs ago! Couldn't drum up enough interest in my fellow engineering colleagues: too interested in getting a shit temp job (after a masters degree, BTW)
Oh well, glad someone is doing it...
If you're in engineering and want to do something, forget Italy... run, run away as fast as you can! Eh sì, anche se hai paura di faro, amico mio, scappa... datti... tela... appena sei fuori non immagini quanto sia meglio fuori... ordini di grandezza!!!
I second those that suggest building your own box. Just make sure you get all disk controllers on PCIe together with the NIC itself. Also forget about the integrated NIC and get a quality one, Broadcom or Intel with the latest drivers. Jumbo frames and TCP Offloading enabled will get your data across faster. Finally, if the switch supports it, put two or more NICs and enable bonding across them. As other posters suggested analyze your workload, the level of concurrent access and decide wheter to get many small spindles or less higher capacity.
... and dramatic density variations are quite understandable in a cosmology that doesn't dismiss electromagnetic interactions on a large scale, it's called "pinch effect". Only it's not as mainstream as the Big Bang
Hi, it's just to avoid shitty water splashing back up your ass The siphon is hidden but it's still there, I guess the stink comes from having the bloody crappers in miserly small rooms with poor air circulation.
BTW, I'm italian and wouldn't consider taking a dump without washing afterwards... for us underwear is expensive equipment to show off before intercourse, not some cheap cloth to keep our pants from getting soiled.
Trouble is... nature is just as cumbersome at "handling" embryos as technical manipulation as many natural pregnancies fizzle in healthy women for undeterminable reasons because they're not just clockwork. It just happens, mostly unnoticed, so why should a medical procedure that increased the success rate of some troubled women be considered some kind of eugenetical immoral sin? I tell you why, strengthen the position against abortion. Politics... just bloody politics...

Definitely running late: Il Frecciarossa promette di volare ma accumula ritardi: proteste a Termini. And these are the latest and greatest High Speed trains that have already cost a fortune in overbudget expenditures and debt: 44 miliardi di debiti di Tav e FS caricati sui bilanci dello Stato.

Err... Italy has worse problems to deal with than petty piracy:

nevermind the cost of ignoring problems and hiding mishaps under a rug. There's no mistake as bad as one you haven't learned anything from.
